Dogs can sniff out cancer, say researchers

Man's best friend -
Only 4 moods, but so much love, and such a wide array of skills....

1. happy, whow! a dog in heat, a walk in the park, leash-ready yippie yippie; a scenic drive, ... FOOD! lotsa....
2. sad: none of the above...
3. angry-pissed-off, you've been trespassing mofo and I'm gonna have a piece of U for lunch
4. indifferent (what cat, I don't even pretend to see the cat)

And yes, today confirmed, dogs can sniff out cancer...

It's a great day for the Canine Folks, finally recognized for their tremendous and unsuspected talent!

Reading: The Sceptical Environmentalist - Bjorn Lombog

Thinking: In order to reach the Millenium Development Goals for water and
sanitation set by the United Nations in Johannesburg 2002; we'll have to connect
825.000 people to sanitation networks and 581.00 people to water distribution
networks; every single day. In fact, this will never happen... More worrysome:
coverage ratios in Africa are declining now...
